A comprehensive guide for planning and stress-testing empirical analysis in financial intermediation, specifically for high-impact journals. It covers the construction of bank/loan-level panel datasets, defining variables (growth vs. levels), implementing advanced econometric specifications (e.g., fixed effects), and executing substantial robustness checks (placebo periods, alternative clustering). It also guides the planning of reproducible numerical illustrations for theoretical models.

A comprehensive guide for designing rigorous Monte Carlo simulations and empirical illustrations for methodological papers, particularly in econometrics. It details how to stress assumptions, report necessary metrics (size, power, bias), and structure the evidence to prove a method's theoretical validity and practical utility.

This guide details how to construct the critical real-data section of a sociological methods paper. It emphasizes that the illustration must demonstrate that the proposed method substantively changes a conclusion compared to the standard/incumbent approach, thereby proving the method's necessity and theoretical stake.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to Sociological Methods & Research (SMR). It routes authors through the rigorous, multi-stage process required for publication, covering methodological contribution, derivation, simulation studies, empirical illustration, and ensuring full software reproducibility. This tool helps authors structure their manuscript to meet high academic standards.
